Andre Roger, Grand Reserve Grand Cru, Champagne, France, NV
“From the pop of the cork to the way the bubbles feel in your mouth, Champagne is a sexy beverage. This heady version is perfumed with stone fruits, citrus, and peppercorn. On the palate, it’s voluptuous and bright. Pair it with fresh fruit and cheese during an afternoon picnic.” Available at Goat.Sheep.Cow, $48

Corison, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, 2010
“Cathy Corison is a Napa Valley icon. Her complex wines walk the line of power and elegance. This cabernet is aromatically seductive, with whiffs of berries, violets, and cassis, while flavors of dark, juicy fruits such as plums dominate the palate. Pair it with dark chocolate for a luscious combination.” Available at Accent on Wine and More, $80
